All Chapters of Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

SOPHIA. I frowned, seeing none other than Violet and Olivia walk into the restaurant. Since when had those two been so close?Our eyes locked and they seemed surprised to see me. Violet suddenly smiled. She hooked an arm around Olivia’s and approached us. “Sophia, what are you doing here? Do you know that Elias has been looking for you like crazy?” Violet’s fake worried voice came and I sneered. What a good best friend she was. So, she’s here acting like she’s in support of me getting back with Elias? We both know she’s fake… A green snake in the grass. All this while, she had been concerned about my marriage, always asking how things between Elias and I were going. Little did I know that she was actually just a monitoring spirit. All her smiles, her concern, her care- they were all fake!I glanced at her, arching an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want him to find me? Shouldn’t you be happy that I escaped? You can have the cheater all to yourself. The two of you deserve each other.

LUCAS. “We have protestors outside the company and the board members want you to sort it out.”Dad’s voice echoed in my head on my way to the company. “Sir, why are we the ones dealing with this problem? Those phones were sent into the market by Elias without a proper quality control check and testing. He used low-quality and counterfeit parts to cut costs but he just incurred losses for the company instead,” Wilson said as he drove the car. “This is an opportunity to show how useless Elias is,” I replied, a small smirk playing on my lips. Elias and my brother thought pinning the faulty phones on me would make me look like an incompetent CEO, little did they know that they just gave me an opportunity to make a lot of money for the group. The board members who are on their side won’t be anymore once they see which side is fattening their greedy pockets more. “Sir, we are here,” Wilson announced a few minutes later and I looked out the window. A sea of people had gathered in fron

SOPHIA.“Congratulations on your first win, Luca!” I said the moment he walked through the door. “You were so cool!”He raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. “You watched the press conference?” “Yes, I did. It was a chance to see Elias get defeated. It was satisfying to watch,” I replied, a huge grin on my face. I found out through social media that a group of protestors were making trouble at the Hart group, so I kept up with the news to see how it would turn out. For sure, Lucas didn’t disappoint. The way he handled the protestors… the way he handled the press and him slapping his brother and Elias’s face with a hundred million dollar contract… I wish I had been there to witness the looks on their faces myself. “This is just the beginning,” Lucas replied as he rolled his sleeves to his elbows. He looked at me, saying, “I hope you haven’t had dinner yet. I promised to cook for you.” “No, I didn’t. And I’m starving,” I replied, rubbing my stomach. “Then I better feed

LUCAS. I awoke to a soft, warm body curled up against me. The TV was still on, still playing the series I had put on last night, but outside, the birds had already started chirping and soft morning light was beginning to seep into the room. I looked down at the beautiful woman sleeping beside me and arched my eyebrow. She had used my chest as a pillow and her leg was wrapped around mine like she didn't want to let go. It seems that while trying to watch the series, we somehow ended up falling asleep. I had promised her that I would leave once she fell asleep… but who knew I would be so relaxed with her next to me? I hadn't even realised when I had dozed off. Looking at her sleeping face, I couldn’t help but admire her. She looked so peaceful. Reaching up, I brushed the hair that had fallen on her face away before caressing her cheek lightly. She moaned in her sleep but instead of waking up, she tightened her hold around me and I gulped, my heart racing at the warmth radiating f

SOPHIA. “The invitations to my welcoming party have been sent out. It will be held in three weeks,” Lucas said as he manoeuvred the car out of the yard. It took an hour for me to dress up for dinner and now, we were heading out to Lucas’s mysterious place. I had asked where he would like me to treat him to dinner and he said it was a surprise. I sighed at his words. “That night, everyone will know about our marriage,” I replied, suddenly feeling nervous. What would his father think? I had divorced his grandson and became his daughter-in-law instead.“Yes, and Elias will realise that you’ve upgraded,” Lucas remarked, smirking as he steered the car with one hand. “I hope you will be ready to face him then… it won’t be easy but it’s got to be done.” I bit my lower lip.The thought of seeing Elias again still made me anxious. But if I don’t brave myself and overcome my fears, he will hold me back forever. “I won’t back down! I can’t keep hiding forever. Besides, I need to return to
